GOVERNOR HISTORY
Listed on the National Register of Historic Places and a member
of Historic Hotels of America, The Governor was built in 1909,
during the prosperous days following the Lewis and Clark Exposition.
The hotel was considered one of Portland's finest. Originally
billed as the "hotel of quiet elegance," its guests paid $1.50
to $2.00 for a room, breakfast included.
The west wing of The Governor was built
in 1923 as the Portland Elks Lodge. It was loosely modeled
after the Farnese Palace in Rome. Over the years, the west
wing housed the WPA, a WWII induction center and later, several
Portland businesses.
In 2004, the west wing became The Governor
Hotel's new entrance, including a beautifully remodeled and
restored lobby and reception area. Welcome to the 'quiet elegance'
of Portland's The Governor Hotel.
